And in case you weren’t aware, barbecue is a subject that garners strong opinions and wide-ranging debate. Needless to say, this one was like setting off a powder keg.
I'm sure there is good barbecue in Brooklyn. I'm also sure the brisket pictured isn't it. https://t.co/7wTuSBO3F5

As you can see, Donald Trump does not hold a candle to the polarization of this particular delicacy.
There is great BBQ in Brooklyn. @HometownBarBQue is incredible. But I have no idea what’s happening in this picture. https://t.co/uhzWTeCAvd
